Can’t paint without getting polish all over your cuticles? No problem.

People of the world who suck at DIY manicures, here is your solution: pre-glued nails.

Each set comes with 24 nails, so if you make a mistake, you literally just pick up a new nail and start fresh.

You’ll use the same tools you’ve always used for a manicure.

The best nail file to use is a 150/180 grit, which means that the filing surface is fine enough that it won’t tear the nail. You can use any nail clippers.

Here’s what to do: On a sheet of paper, lay out about 10 inches of double-sided tape. Then go through the box and find pre-glued nails that match the size of each of your natural nails.

Lay out the nails in size order, pressing them glue-side down on the double-sided tape. Firmly press down on each nail so it’s really secure. If they’re not fully stuck to the tape, you may have a hard time painting. In that case, stop polishing and press down harder.

The line across the nail marks the side that will face outward when you press them onto your nails.

And here’s why fake nails are incredible: You paint them before they go on your real nails, so you don’t have to worry about polish on your cuticles or painting with your non-dominant hand.

Open your nail polish and paint two coats onto the nails that are on the tape. Be generous with the polish and make sure you evenly paint all of the sides of the nail. You don’t need a base coat because the polish won’t be sitting on your actual nail bed. As for top coat, that’s optional too. The nails will adhere to your fingers for about a day, so you won’t really need to deal with chipping.
